Possibility of a community content store?

So I wanted to see this feature in MMORPGs for awhile now and think it would be perfect for Ashes of Creation.
Basically the idea is this: Ashes of Creation hosts a community content area where players can submit their creations for vetting and votes. Approved ideas by both the community and Intrepid would go onto a store where players could purchase it.
Content would strictly be cosmetic, mostly mounts, capes, and guild hall accessories. Both the creator and Intrepid would receive a portion of the sale.
There are several benefits to this system. First, it takes pressure off Intrepid to create original content daily, allowing them to focus on the core game itself. This would result in an all around better experience. Second, it gives aspiring artists and animators an outlet to submit their content and be able to receive feedback. It's always great to support new creatives after all. Third, well it obviously generates additional revenue for both parties involved.
So, what do you think? Obviously it would need fine tuning and limits.

- I'd like to see the ability to preview designs (even ones that aren't approved).
- The ability for players to vote on designs would also be great.
- I hope IS can provide official design templates for clothing, skins, meshes etc. to give the community a guideline for their creations.
If this is done right, it could add even more flavor to the game but I don't agree that IS should take a percentage of the coin though! This system will actually be saving them money by generating quality in game content. If anything, IS should be giving out design awards to encourage participation.When I mentioned giving IS a portion of the proceeds it would be for providing the hosting for the content, i.e. the store and AoC.
What I was thinking honestly.
